So I cut a big hole in my hood (pictures)
and decided to patch it up with this 4" cowl 
........
dash view
Should I add some stripes on top or some "real flames" on the 4" sides?

I have several projects going right now besides the Corvette. I'm adding a blower, long tube headers, 3" exhaust, cowl hood, roll pan, ignition, and gauges to my 454SS, and installing a new seat, tires, and jet hot headers to my CBX.

Dern I hate the folks that keep Mid-America and Ecklers in business buying the goofy little crap they sell.

Wow, I believe that's the largest cowl I've seen on a C5!
I would go with the flames, of course. 
Good luck and can't wait to see the finished product!

It's your car do what makes you happy. To many cars on here look the same takes guts to step out of the box By the way I am a motorcycle guy also and always loved the cbx 
My bike has 6 cyl also but not as fast as the cbx.
